Yeah that could be some good content for me to check out

Totally agree with you, to see Chan the most genuine and his personality is in Chans Room especially when he talks about music, he plays on his phone or eating.... and in Skz Code too when they playing some sports he is always so excited

Came here to say this exact same thing! Chan's Room is where I feel his true personality shows thru the most. I can see where his leader mode activates and he becomes more guarded at times in the public eye. But I also believe his members are his true "home" and they know him very well inside and out. But there are beautiful moments we do get to see. The speech he gave and letters he wrote them when they debuted... His ments at concerts... The letter he wrote and read to Hiwa at the concert she was supposed to meet them (thru Make A Wish) before her passing. Those are some moments I believe the true person Chris is shines thru and where his humanity truly shows.

I was about to say the same, his personality comes out when he doesn't have his leader mode on, usually when they are doing a skit where other members are more active or sometimes in Chan's room but he does have a dark burdened side of him that we don't get to see. Only a handful of recordings when you can see him getting agitated and members getting nervous.I am referring to the vlive event where staff was incompetent and members were really tired and Chan kept his cool but you could tell he is really mad

Chan: i am foive! 🖐🏻

Exactly this!!😂 Aa a Chan biased person this is not only my favourite trait but also one of the first things I noticed about him. I'm realising people don't bring it up much. That Aussie wit is very much a huge part of his personality, it probably just doesn't translate very well lol.

true, he certainly loves teasing us hahaha

Thats it! It reflects a lot of his protectiveness and jutdae in some ways coz he wont stand down if his members or overall group is attacked, like NOEASY shows that. Its like a passive aggresive aggressiveness. And there is also strictness towards those he love, like he scolds and give that one look warning. ANd im particularly wanting this side of his to be highlighted coz often times, his kindness is taken for granted or is made to put him in a pedestal and then people, even stays, get offended when he stands his ground

@@rhedonlyrhed9155 He knows how to set and maintain boundaries, and the snarkiness is absolutely a part of that, especially when he needs to push back a bit but wants to keep things relatively lighthearted.

He made the group after all 🤭

I agree 100% with you. I feel Chan's Room was where he could really "let his hair down" and be himself. To really open up and be close to his fans. Many felt so close to him that they began asking for his advice about their own lives. Many times the advice he gave was really good. He would even play music, and critique music videos suggested sometimes by others in the room. When I'd visited Channie's room I actually felt a sense of togetherness. I sensed from his room that he has a very genuine heart. He really cares and I felt too that he put more care for others above the care for himself at times. He'd put down his thinning hair or nose at times...but at the same time he would speak about possibly working out. Because of the positive feedback he received, I feel that he was beginning to love himself more. Then it was taken from him so easily by either "toxic fans" or "by the "non fans" who decided to start a fan war from what he said. He never mentioned any names but opening up about something that bothered him, speaking from his heart. Then his company made him end his room. Personally it felt to me like being given something good in your life, and then suddenly because of someone else's wrongdoing, it was snatched away from us. We felt cheated. We worried about how he would take it. So many of us worried about our "close friend" and how it affected him. At that time he and the other Kids were working on 5-Star. When they would share behind the scenes video, it seemed like BangChan was only allowed in the camera view as long as he didn't speak....it's just an observance I don't know if he was banned from it. During interviews it seemed like they skipped him too. Then as time passed, He would talk again, but thereafter he always seems guarded. He doesn't seem like the open BangChan he once was. At least he can speak into the camera again. I absolutely agree that when you get the chance, watch some Channie's Room videos. The very last one was ep. 208. :)

​​@@truetigress8401Everything started bc someone with bad intentions shared the tik tok of a *one* kid multistan on a toxic Korean forum putting it as "proof" of 'Stays hating on IVE bc what Chan said '. And bc other fandoms shared that tik tok on Twitter on purpose to making a big issue about it and provoke Dive and every kpoper who hate SKZ to attack on Chan. (This was exactly when Stays began to find out about the matter). But even, some Stays who discovered that tik tok bf were trying to reporting it bf everything went out of control, and asking Dives and everyone to help and no making a fuss about it. But they didn't wanted to listen. Even that mulstistan put the video on private, but was too late, bc kpopers went fast sharing it. So the thing is KDive got carried away bc the post shared on that Kforum, and them and SKZ haters made a hate campaign against Chan accusing him of being a 'idols girls'bully' on various Korean platforms. And that's why JYPE banned Chan'sroom...Many ppl lied about the real story about what happened. Stays themselves believed and spread the version in which i'ts 'our fault'. When the reality is that IVE has been accused of not having 'good manners' since their debut by all kpopers in the world. They also created tiks toks and other types of content on the subject. (not Stay)...That's the reality. So when Chan said that it was obvious that in some corner of the internet someone was going to use his words to accuse them. But even so, the person who shared the tik tok confessed at the time that she wasn't angry with IVE bc of Chan, just she simply heard the rumors about them so she shared that tik tok 'to make fun of their fans'...But everyone took advantage of that random tik tok to blame us and have a perfect 'excuse' for hating on Chan. Also many kpop channels joined in spreading the false information about this, using the excuse that 'kpop fandoms in general are very overprotective and blah blah'. Accusations without properly investigating what happened, placing IVE as 'victims' in this situation and Chan as 'reckless'. And no one even reported on Dives hate campaign on him, with their xenofobic comments, etc... Then, It seems like the company treated this matter like when an idol is accused of bullying and they usually put them on 'hiatus'. Meanwhile IVE surely has no idea about this type of criticism towards them by some foreingners on some sites online. Like,they are one of the groups with the most fans, and more loved and defended. So Chan was massively and disproportionately attacked just bc a fandom were angry about the tik tok from a random multiStan that nobody would know about it if SKZ haters and Dives wouldn't shared it in many sites. So at this point, although I miss the chansroom, my biggest wish is that JYPE one day takes real action against haters, bc the more famous they become, the more attacks they will receive. But, he made it clear many times that he was happy to interact with Stay. And in fact, on BB he has been more positive, commenting on happy things, thanking Stay for many things, asking for advice on fashion, etc. Also he is the last one to leave fan events even when the event is over, and at concerts he used to end up giving a hug. It's just that all of that is harder to see.

This makes me cry because it's been 6 months since the last Chan's Room. As a Chan bias I get used to his lil content or appearances on skz talker or behind contents because at the end of the week we'll have Chan's room. But now ....... :"(

My thoughts exactly! There might be some old pain. He manages perfectly! But it’s still there.

I really do admire Chan a lot for this reason. Not only as an idol or my ult bias, but just as a fellow human being. I think even if he doesn't realize it or believe it, he really has such a sweet soul. A lot of us find comfort in his presence for this reason, which is just really beautiful. Its really nice to see him be honest with stays and not 100% always happy and positive, because i think that makes him seem more like any other human before being an idol, because he's not putting on some kind of ultra-happy front all the time and shares the real side of him too, which can be silly and happy but also more serious. Overall, i look up to him a lot as a person. He's just special, you know? There's only one Bang Chan.

This is the best way to explain chan's personality 🥰 he really is so humble and down to earth, I love that about him ❤

Thank you. It's so beautiful to explain what kind of person Chan is :")

very very well said! ^^

very libra of him haha

wow that's very interesting..! what exactly is upper class, upper middle class, & middle class though? what defines class? is it career status, reputation, overall wealth, or the area they live in/grew up in??

Hmm, I think somewhat differently. I think during 5-star Era he had really hard time to have any energy to show only his brightest sides in public or in front of camera. Not because he didn't care others' eyes but because it is already hard to overcome his depression to put up a happy mask in his face. Yet since he is really responsible for and very sincere in his music, he still showed flawless performances on the stages. Remember the day they won the first place in a music show at the first time. He cried for the whole 8 minutes yet while crying hard, he still delivered his part perfectly. Because to him music and stage are really important and more important than his personal feelings at that moment. He has been loved and encouraged by his family in his child years, but he did homeschooling since his elementary years, so he naturally didn't have much experiences to get along with kids in similar ages from other families unlike most of kids who usually spend more than ten years in school with other classmates So as he said several time, he had hard time to fit into teenager's general society at first. Plus he becomes really shy or sometimes even panicked around newly-met people or in crowds. So one can imagine how precious the SKZ members is to him. They are friends and family to him, and the closet people he accepts to come into the inside of his high mindbarriers. He really wants to maintain good relationships with his close people, especially his groupmates and really wants to make them happy by his doings even if it might eat him up. He would willingly become a laughable clown for his loving group mates Many people didn't think so, but he is very responsible and caring and often puts his precious people in front of himself. And Hyunjin is a very sensitive and caring friend and he did notice it and mentioned it to Han in their two kids room. I think Hyunjin is the member who appreciates Han most in mind. Even though other members make him sad, he with mbti-t always finds excuse for them and their behavior and accepts it even if it hurted him. I never saw him saying badly about other members and other people. He would say we did have some conflicts sometimes but I did wrong or the understandable misunderstnding happened and the other involved person didn't do wrong and several times he would make sure with long explanations so that nobody judges the other ones badly by his words. And if some gropmate hurt his feeling or teased him too badly, instead of being angry or backfiring mean words, Han gives back him good words like "I love you", or "I liked it, though", or at maximom he would say "it really hurts, so would you stop doing it for me" During the concerts others sometimes cried but he didn't. He got his eyes soaked once when Chan cried and expressed himself. Perhaps because he felt for Chan. In the 2nd SKZ family ep., Chan got exhausted to play a five-year old baby, but nobody noticed. And Han directly went to him to give a tight long hug to comfort him. And remember, he was the one who cried for the whole 8 minutes even though Han rarely cried during concerts unlike other members. I think he felt guilty, deeply pressured and sorry towards other not-composing members during the period when their album didn't give satisfying results. But he wouldn't have been able to show them those feeling because they had to give them confidences since 3racha are SKZ producers and the producers' showing weak sides, deep worries and lack of confidence to their members are not helping at all and not a nice thing to the other members who had beliefs in them. So, when SKZ finally won the 1st places he couldn't help but cry perhaps because he could finally put down a bit of the burdens as unsuccessful producers and deep sorry feelings to others. He found comforting in Changbin's hug because they had shared those burdens together as 3racha But Han is also a very brave person despite of his social anxiety he couldn't control himself. He bravely shares his weak sides and is and tries to be very candid about himself and sometimes very harsh and strict to himself and his own work, but at the same time very generous and understanding to others. He wouldn't complain even if others didn't do well. (But he wouldn't give empty compliments to others, either. He would give others only the compliments he thinks so. He really knows how to appreciate, thank and enjoy beautiful or great persons or things) He didn't disguise himself as a better person than who he really is. He wants himself to be a great artist and a person in his eyes, so he gives lots of efforts and hours to meet his standards that are pretty higher than the usual ones In a balance game go back to 10 years ago vs. go forward to 10 years later, he chose to go back because he wanted to erase his shameful doings. And also he said he keeps thinking when he thinks he did wrong. So he cares. He feels awkward when he gets praised but definitely becomes happy. He really cares his people and the group's mode. Also he becomes very active during filming some entertaining contents, because for Han it's his job to make the viewers happy and the making staffs feel relieved by good results Hope Han being happy and healthy, he really deserves it ❤

​@@sykim7838 Sorry, I don't know why, but I only noticed your reply now. Firstly, I would like to say that your words towards Han are incredibly beautifully framed, and I agree with everything you said. I think our opinions differ only in the smallest part. Personally, I think that no matter how depressed a person is, they can always hide it if they want to, especially if it's for the camera. But Han didn't do it. Not even for the shortest videos, which might not have even reached 3 minutes. Which is why I still think Han is very open and sincere with his audience. Yes, not 100%, because despite his depressed state he still tried to be smiling and preferred to hide from the cameras, but he gives us the maximum truth that is possible. He does everything in such a way that he doesn't overstep the boundaries and people don't get scared for his condition, but also that it's quite clear that he's obviously not all right and fans can immediately understand how it's better to behave with him in this era, to communicate with him at the same fancalls or meetings. And this is incredibly important - such sincere communications of an idol with his fans with the help of emotions, not just words, which many idols can not say, no matter how much they want to. And this approach to the situation helped him a lot. The fans really behaved differently, at meetings and calls they talked to him more gently, smoothly and tried to cheer him up, and I am sure that this also played a role in his improvement. If he was hiding this depressive period, the fans would have been more free to behave as usual and could have inadvertently hurt his wounds without trying to be more careful with a man whose mental state was not the best. But again, this is my point of view, we all notice something different in the same situations. With everything else, I completely agree with you. Han Jisung is one of the MOST responsible members of the band and has carried a big burden since his debut, as has everyone in 3rach to be fair. And not just because of the music and production. Han has always been known for Ace's abilities and even from the debut Han has taken a lot of responsibility because of that. I will still cherish the moment when he, the main rapper, took the courage to sing the most difficult part of their song in a survival show. He didn't even flinch, he didn't even hesitate. The guys said they were scared to perform it and Chan just suggested Han and Jisung didn't argue, just nodded. And when they showed his training, it was clear that it wasn't easy for him to do it at all. It was a huge responsibility, but in front of the guys he acted so calmly, as if he had taken a part that he didn't even have to rehearse. It's because of this calmness, which he includes on purpose to avoid worrying the other guys, that few people see Jisung as truly responsible and brave, even within the fandom. And of course, the 5 stars era proved to us his responsibility again. In fact, there are examples amongst the idols where a person could go on stage and not perform at least 50% and find an excuse in the form of "not the best condition". And when I look at Han, who despite his health problems got up on stage and performed as if nothing was wrong with him, I could only admire him and realize how mature and responsible he is. Yes, his performances lacked that very cheerfulness or did not show the enjoyment of the performance, which is always most noticeable by his facial expressions and active dancing, but without all this he did his job just perfectly. He danced even better than in past cb, sang steadily and loudly as if he'd eaten the studio version and looked relaxed, giving us all the same beautiful scenes. He is definitely one of the most amazing idols who takes his job really seriously, just like any other worker should and no matter what profession. I'm also incredibly in love with the way you highlighted such warm moments where Han was very attentive and affectionate to the members. This is, again, my view and my observations, but I always felt like Han was very hungry for love. Changbin once said that Han wants to be loved by people, and he's very smart because he knows how to make people love him. And it really seems to me that Jisung adjusts to absolutely every person so that he can be given that love. For example, Chan. Every single member always runs away from him, pulls out of his embrace, or push him when Chan shows them affection. And Han is the only one who doesn't. He's literally the only one who easily lets Chan hug him, and he's also the only one who can hold him close. All because it's important for Han to be given any form of love. For Seungmin, to show love is to be a little rude, to start annoying, but loving and gentle and Han, to get that, also behaves with Seungmin directly, more sincerely than with the others. And if for Chan, showing affection is tactile, Han will accept it too because he will feel tender and cared for from it. The guys also mentioned that Jisung isn't that tactile himself, but he can easily hug someone close to him if it makes his friend feel better. I honestly almost cried at your words about how he could feel guilty because their music didn't get as much attention. Now thinking about it, his long tears during the awards do hit my heart harder than before. I feel like every time Han cries, it's always long and loud, and that's why he always tries to keep his cool and not cry in front of the members or his audience. Because his tears can go on for too long, and he doesn't want that to happen because he knows how long it will take to calm down 🥺💔 Han is quite a complex personality, difficult to understand or read so immediately, but I always find it interesting to observe him and notice new details. And I really enjoyed your analysis, I was able to notice something for myself that I hadn't noticed before. I want to say thank you for loving Han and being a fan. With someone like that in the audience, the fandom will not be lost 💖💖💖

(I know I have already Typed Paragraphs but hear me out)- One way to think about this is that the other members have the space and security to be as open and genuine as they are *because* Bang Chan set and nurtured that tone from the start and *will* go to bat for them every single time, with every fiber of his being. And then he’s the go-between (and, I think, sometimes firewall) for them and the company, in a pretty much totally novel situation in k-pop where *he* put the group together to begin with. He’d be the first to tell you that their excellence is not his to claim, but creating the space for it to grow and thrive kind of is. If that guy is sometimes a little more guarded with his off-the-cuff feelings on camera (especially given how often perfectly civil and reasonable off-the-cuff comments have come back to bite him in the past when weird antis make a scandal of it on Twitter or whatever) - I mean, I get it.

Hope you enjoy it!

@maxpbeaumont I did! I think you really got it right with Bang Chan not always expressing himself. It often seems like he does things a particular way to make it easier for the others, like he's trying to facilitate them more. As a result, I think he often adjusts to the situation & tries to react in a way that's best for all of them. In contrast, I think most of the other members tend to stay in their comfort zones or help each other in those situations while Chan prefers to manage things himself

❤

you make me cry :(

@@iyo4869 apologies, it wasn’t my intention. And like I said, I think something has changed for the better, he looks better, health-wise, seems stronger in his sense of self, and I’ve seen him step forward more rather than shrink into the background the way he was earlier in the year. I think he spent so much time shielding Skz, building their confidence, and trying to protect them from everything, that he took those hits himself, and let it land, affecting his confidence, and now that the rest of the team is standing on their own, there was a bit of an “empty nest” feeling going on, where they didn’t need the protection and misconstrued his assistance (because he needed it for himself to provide as well as helping them) as him not trusting them to do for themselves, and it caused a bit of a schism. But what I’m seeing looks like they’ve gotten past some of that, and I’d like to think that he’ll take the effort he put into building them up all those years, into building himself up in the same manner. Or better yet, that they build him up the way he did for them. He deserves nothing but happiness. Again, sorry for the sadness, but I think we’ll see some really good things in the future.

I think the Lallapalusa Festival near Paris changed a lot. They stepped off the stage as new man.

Thanks for the sweet comment! It really motivates me knowing that you feel that way :) Very much appreciate you sharing. Have a wonderful day.

agree..

Lee Know too. They have the same instructor.

@@StacyCareineJAOSOA-ee3hy and Han as well.😊

A mi me encanto sus imágenes, y es por Chan que revisé a SKZ primeramente(auque soy Stay por la lírica de 3racha). Y aunque la personalidad y rostro (objetivamente) de Lee Know es mi favorita, siempre observo más a Chan, para conocerlo, su personalidad también me pareció rara y un poco falsa/cuidadosa (no lo digo en un mal sentido) en un inicio, por ahora creo que desarrollo una personalidad de acuerdo a lo que su inteligencia dijo debería ser por y para SKZ, a consecuencia de esto todavía creo que es el único que no "conozco" de SKZ y las contradicciones en el me hacen desconfiar de todo en el. Entonces... Es bueno leer/escuchar a otros, me hacen ser menos crítica con la personalidad de mi propio Bias 😅

"looked weird" sounds kinda mean, hopefully you didn't mean it like that and meant to say he looked... difficult to understand maybe? 😊

@@tapioooca5182 I meant he looked different from other K-Pop idols that are popular. He was just different. Yes it was mean for me to judge like that, you're right. But I learned from it. From him. I just meant that he looked very different from what I was used to. But I never thought he was ugly if that makes sense.

@@mile.maciel520 I totally agree. That's why I watch Max. It's so fun to see other people from that area (Communication study or body language study) analyze idols that I love.

Not the spicey ramen 😂😂
